4/28/27 - squat/press 5s

My squat is slowly getting better, but it always feels like the top set is more difficult than it should be. My legs are much stronger than my torso. My press is straight up suffering.  I thought it was a fluke last time but I might have to go down.... ill see how it plays out next session. Didn't have time for acrobatics unfortunately  Squat 5s top set 255 x 7 Press 5s top set 135 x 4 Neutral grip pullups 12,10,6

4/30/26 - work calisthenics glutes

I just felt like really laser focusing one movement, so I fell back on my tried and true: the rep goal method. I broke my work down into clusters of 20 total reps and was mostly able to get each of them done in 2 sets.  Honestly, I expected to get the work done much quicker, but the hip thrusts took almost the entire 30 minutes. I wanted to do a few sets of abs, but only had 90 seconds so I did a sumo squat finisher.... and like last time I was shocked at the low rep count. My literal ass was already exhausted by this point and this variation practically isolates the glutes, so i guess it makes sense.   This workout was a huge success because my glutes are extremely sore at the time of writing. My hip thrust, 100 total reps 13,8,  11,9,  11,9,  7,6,7,  10,9 Fatbell sumo squat finisher 15
